“You are the sky. The clouds are what happens, what comes and goes.” - Eckhart Tolle
The clouds are thoughts and feelings
Wow...I love it! It’s so deep and well put.
After many years of crushing anxiety and depression I am beginning to feel the stillness inside and it is beautiful, remarkable. Thank you Eckhart.
Same here!! :)
I am so happy for you!

“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.” -ECKHART TOLLE💜

Except if you face a ex
@@keithgreenan1850 still a collection of thoughts and feelings.
Would you say this to your child who is being bullied. Would you say this to a person who is unhappy in an abusive relationship. Would you say this to a person who has just lost a loved one. Sorry not trying to be rude or anything but rather raise some implications with this statement
@@bernardsmith1230 appropriate action should be taken when nessacary. There is much suffering in the world, and all suffering stems from the thought "I am a separate self". We must start with ourselves. If we want to improve our world, we should at least attempt to discover who we truly are beyond thought. But I would also encourage anyone who was going through a tough situation like the ones you've mentioned to use the suffering as a means to find that in all experiencing (good or bad) that never changes.
“Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.” - Eckhart Tolle
Gracias!!!!
It feels more that way.. but who can really know
i also have been studying tones. A change of environment would probably help as well. I don't see or talk to toxic people too so when i am able to be in the right combination I probably am going to improve. All these components are important. Chemistry especially.
Simple in theory
A load of baloney uttered by a guy obviously suffering from Asperger's. Don't be deceived.
“Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought.” -ECKHART TOLLE💜💜

"You do not need to think continuously in your daily life." (Eckhart Tolle)
"If someone sits still long enough and is able to quiet their mind, they will begin to feel the Presence. If someone begins to feel their real state of being, the real condition of their mind and their body, and they are able to be with themselves at a deeper level, they will begin to feel the Presence.... So why do people resist this? Why do they seek a worldly experience of suffering and struggle and constant adaptation when they could experience the Presence? The reason you do not experience the Presence is it is hidden--hidden by the appearance of the world, hidden by the make-up of your mind, hidden by your circumstances and by your focus in life. When you begin to experience the Presence, it begins to draw you. It is the most natural attraction there can be... particularly when you find out it is not there to punish you, when you find out it is not full of judgment and wrath and displeasure, when you find out that it is wondrous and magnificent. But it is a conscious decision to turn one's life, to shift direction... Stop for a moment. Allow your mind to settle down. Breathe deeply. Go to a quiet place. Set aside your thoughts and your plans and goals and problems long enough and...frequently enough, and you begin to experience the Presence....It is with you now. It was with you yesterday. And it will be with you tomorrow--calling you and waiting for your return; waiting to bestow upon you a life of purpose, meaning and direction." (excerpts from The Presence, a revelation received by Marshall Vian Summers, New Message org)

..he is just BSing all of you because he needs admiration and attention to lift his ego and feel importent. To much pseudo explanation that none understood.
Similar to the scripture: draw near unto God and God will draw near to you... great attraction... thank you for these shared words.
Janice Stevenson Thank you for sharing these inspirational words of wisdom. I know with absolute certainty that I was meant to (and needed to) read it at this exact moment in time. 😊🙏 Namaste 🕉
@Death Is A Doorway ...you need some real education. Go study some psychology, it may help you read subliminal ego behavior, not this pseduo fake manipulators. There are certain universities for it, the rest is mamo jumbo bussiness. So after all you may wake up from hypnosis....

May all your dreams come true 🤗

Thanks for sharing your takeaways!
I follow Sadghuru. He says May all your dreams NOT come true. Everything you dream is not what you need.
I found a Holy Grail process and now I am living in a permanent state of a quieted mind, in non stop thoughtless awareness since January 10, 2023, when I found and experienced a profound miracle process of living in the present moment, where there are no thoughts, because thoughts are either of the past or the future. When you are truly In the Present Moment Now there are zero thoughts and you are in awe and divine connection. This is a great video. I watched it in complete mental silence and felt my hands and brain tingling with endorphins, feel good molecules of emotion. Watching this video made me even more grateful for the divine gift I was guided to and received on January 10th, 2023 in an obscure 20 minute process that permanently interrupted my constant thoughts and left me in permanent mental silence, thoughtless awareness, except when I do choose to think once in a while instead of the other way around where I was in nearly constant thoughts and only rarely quieted my mind for seconds or minutes. According to just one source, Abraham Hicks, "When you quiet your mind, you let go of all resistance." According to another source, "The main thing is your connection with the Divine is only possible when you meditate and become 'thoughtlessly aware. That's the point where Divine works, it helps." Her Holliness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. According to Eckhart Tolle he was able to achieve and and now lives in a quieted mind and found profound wisdom from then on. Buddha achieved, a permanently Quieted Mind. Krishnamurti also achieve thoughtless awareness. It is a process that money cannot buy and hundreds of millions attempt and only rarely quiet their mind. I am an eternal optimist and consider myself a lucky person. My finding that 20 minute process that instantly changed my thoughts, mind and life is the best thing that ever happened to me. I consider 2023 as the best year of my life because I am now living in permanent thoughtless awareness, which has endless benefits and connects me with the Divine.
👋😊👍🌟🌟🌟
Care to share the process?
This is done by just observing with eyes open and no thoughts just being?
@@kenleb1224 Eyes open or closed makes no difference. You become in a state of Established Thoughtless Awareness and so instead of thinking the majority of the time you are thoughtless the majority of the time and you are still able to freely think when you choose to.
The power of now has become
my bedside book. A knowledge to work with through a lifetime.
Gratitude 🙏🙏 🇵🇹

Dear Eckhart, your simplicity in personality and saying is making everything understanble about body, mind and spirit. You are truly a warrior of light, hope and guidance!!!
Just listening to your talk gives the experience of meditation. Thank you master.
Eckhart Tolle, you are a great human being! My life is completely changed after i got to know you!
Mine too ❤️
Since reading The Power of Now i have been doing his guided meditations and teachings, he is a true spiritual teacher and makes so much sense, his tools really are the way to connect to your soul and be present 😇
Mooji talks a lot about this too. I love both spiritual teachers 🤗
YES!
Yeah, I'm a big fan of Moojibaba
Try Rupert Spira, Adyashanti and Allan Watts too.
I have been listening to mooji for many years. I love him.

Thank You for posting Eckhart Tolle video 😊💜
Listening to Eckhart is so soothing...🧘♀️
Thank you, dear Eckhart. Indeed, when you open this dimension without thinking, and act from it, everything is fine. Events unfold around, there is activity, but there is no one who does it! Presence fills everything with vitality, but it is not actions that fill you!
@RIP ¡ Brainless is a value judgment. Being present does not mean living without a head. In fact, this means that the head comes second after the higher mind. This mind is not separate from man.
And you don't need any LSD to figure it out.
I have the impression that the feeling I have when I’m about to fall asleep, the very transition from awake to asleep, half of you here, half there, is what E.T. describes as no thinking. It’s such a wonderful feeling.

One of the best teachings.
You cannot fully appreciate and enjoy life until you come to terms with your own inevitable death. There is truth and great beauty in this statement.
This glorious man is the guru to the common man/woman. No need to come to this teaching with much training or education. Just a desire to understand life.
When we are in absolute attention of the present moment,we see that we are not thinking!!it's real,from daily life experiences we can see that happening!!and the most important that being in alertness,fully present,is undoubtedly real!!
Thoughts are so heavy. It take a long time to put them away . But They keep coming back .
This is a reply I gave to someone else, and it may help you too:
I would try to stop thinking, but couldn't do it for more than a couple seconds. What I've found that works for me, and remarkably well, is letting go. Our thinking is quite simple - the mind chooses a topic for 20 or 30 seconds, a minute, 5 minutes, an hour, before dropping it and moving onto another one. It does this the whole day.
There is a technique of simply letting go that releases the mind of whatever it is clinging onto and muddling about. The mind wants to think so it can have a grasp at something, so it can have an opinion, so it can handle something, so it can have a foothold somewhere, so it believes it's safe. But instead of betting caught up in the topic it has brought up, we can do something wonderful, seemingly new, yet ancient - just let go.
Letting go is a natural process. It involves the *simple willingness* to release. If you find yourself ruminating about what someone had done, what had happened, why something is the way it is, you can just release it, drop it from consciousness. It's like holding a pencil in your hand, and just dropping it. How do you drop it? You just do, by the willingness to. The same can be done in your mind.
This can really only be experienced. Try it out on something right now, and see the simplicity of just letting go. It requires no effort. As we habitually let go on the minds thinking, letting go of whole inner mind chatter, sentences, paragraphs, ideas, trying to solve things, change things, make things a certain way, trying to get approval from someone, trying to ensure the safety of the body, the mind quietens by itself.
There are many techniques that employ this simple method. The Sedona Method (1992) is a full course on letting go, available for free on CZcams, where it gets deeper into it, if you'd like more information on it. A Course in Miracles uses the word 'forgiveness' for letting go, which is simply the willingness to see the minds activity, stories, positions, judgments as false, and therefore let them go. It's just a willingness, that's all.
Here's an excerpt from the book "The Secret of Letting Go" by Guy Finley that describes this very well.
"The truth is that letting go is very simple and, above all, natural; as natural for you and me as it is for a tree to shed the heavy, sun-ripened fruit that clings to its branches. Why? Because both man and tree, in fact all living things, are created to drop what is no longer needed. For the tree, the falling fruit carries its matured seed to the ground. No unnatural force is necessary. In a similar fashion - that is to say, under higher but equally exacting laws - these same friendly forces are waiting to do for you what you haven't been able to do for yourself. You need only learn to cooperate with these powerful and timeless principles to be able to let go of any emotional bitterness, relentless regret, anxious worry, or troubling thought. The rest will be done for you.
"This is what the secret of letting go is all about. First must come the understanding that we are still carrying around the accumulated defeats of a lifetime, and that these weary weights have only served to make us someone sorry, not someone special. This initial shock may shake us, but it is really a major breakthrough. It heralds the first in a series of miraculous self-separations in which we begin to see that we have been living from an unseen part of ourselves: a self that thinks clinging to wreckage is the same as being rescued! Now we understand why all of our past efforts to let go have only left us holding a new problem. But now we also know, at last, exactly what it is that must be dropped. We must let go of this sorry self that is certain it is better to suffer and feel like someone than it is to just let go and quietly be no one. Have no concerns how this task will be accomplished. That is reality's responsibility.
"This higher knowledge that is now beginning to reveal you to yourself is not mental. It is coming to you from a lofty, wise, and powerful part of yourself that lives way above everyday thinking and its ceaseless conflict over what may or may not be best. Your newly awakening inner nature knows what is best for you because it sees life without the painful confusion and contradictions that always accompany compulsive self-interest. For instance, this higher intelligence knows that you don't need to ache, even when you are sure you must. Once you have made contact with the still, secret self within, it does the rest. That's right. It is this higher part of yourself alone that has the strength and wisdom to gently open your hand so that out of it may drop all that has been making you unhappy.
"Believe me, you are on the verge of the single greatest discovery any human being can make. The secret of letting go not only holds the keys for ending what is unwanted, but locked within this same supreme secret is the beginning of your new life - the birth of a new nature that never has to hold on to anything because it is already everything. Dare to proceed. Let the following special insights speed you on your way.
"1 Letting go of yourself is letting go of your problems, for they are one and the same.
"2 Go along with your longing to be limitless.
"3 Uncovering what is wrong must always precede the discovery of what is right.
"4 You can only be as free as you are willing to be truthful about yourself.
"5 Letting go is strictly an inside job.
"6 There is nothing hidden in the world from you if you will reveal yourself to yourself.
"7 You can live from true intelligence or with self-insistence.
"8 Letting go takes no strength - only a willingness to see the need for it.
"9 You can never act any higher toward a situation than your understanding of that situation.
"10 Once you see a problem, you know the solution.
"11 A weakness detected is a weakness rejected.
"12 Letting go is the natural release that always follows the realization that holding on hurts.
"13 Unhappiness does not come at you, it comes from you.
"14 Suffering is only something you picked up by mistake.
"15 What you really want is to stop thinking about yourself.
"16 Defeat comes from clinging to solutions that don't work.
"17 Letting go happens effortlessly once you see there is no other choice.
"18 Real freedom is the absence of the self that feels trapped, not the trappings that self acquires to make it feel free.
"19 Wanting to learn about yourself while limiting your discoveries to what you want to find is like saying 'I want to see the whole world from my bed.'
"20 The only thing you lose when you let go of something you are afraid to live without is the fear itself."
Best of luck. You can do it! I believe in you!

Thank you sir for your out of this world insight
Thanks for your wisdom shared.
I can’t stop falling asleep during practice.
Falling asleep is the best way to stop thought😁✌
It's in the unconscious , so you become unconscious .
It's your steps in getting there .
This is beautiful
Thank you very much, for this interesting Video . There are things in real life where you think this can‘t be true now, this can only be a dream.🙏❤️🧚🏾
Love this one .
Once again, on point!
awareness of awareness...awareness of yourself as awarenes......awareness of your SELF as AWARENESS, the stillness itself, eternal, formless, awareness, pure consciousness, no beginning or end, pure love, bliss....all there is!!! smile

And if you sit amongst the birds and trees
You sit amongst awareness without thought
And it is calling out to you
And Eckhart Tolle knows this
So feed your "self" to nature
Feed the enlightenment that is already there.
This guy is chill
thanks yoda
It's Directing attention to attention 🔥👍
I feel like when I'm aware of my essence and I can really feel it, it just makes me feel confused in my being. It doesn't feel freeing at all.
the basis of the current culture wars is because most people are attached to ego's identity, which creates separation.

Thank you Eckhart Tolle. You and Kim are like my new parents, I hope you don’t mind? Unconditioning me! 😅
Thinking is wanting.
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
yes.....GREAT VIDEO..!!
The cause of unhappyness is unhappiness
I believe Descartes realized that there was a gap between thinking and "Iamness", he could clearly see the pattern Thinking __ Iamness __ Thinking, that's why he thought I think therefore I am I think (stopped being) I am (I once again am).
Why I think a lot before every action.
Super
Presence of the higher light is put together by the creator thus making life force!

just laughed out loud, when he was talking about the people in the photographs - no one even knows who these people are, or even remember them !! too funny
When do Eckhart tolle & Sadhguru sit and talk. Would love it❤️🙏
you see, all is awareness and energy...awareness the eternal One the IAM, that is , we are all really One being....and energy, that's what appears confusing....there are infinite forms in many layers of existence, because it's uncountable lol...but the energy forms come and go and that's temporary...so in meditation I focus on my breath and listen... I am not the body, I am not the mind, I am pure awareness inside empty space and science found out were 99.9% empty space.... I have a relationship with God in our infinite journeys we enjoy together....clumsy human language don't focus on we, focus on IAM!!! Hope it helps, God bless you on your journey ❤
Is this what we talk about in this space - time crossing?
Or are there urgent matters to address first, even if this (in video) is the most profound truth of what is and who we are
❤️
Inlakesh ❤️🌞💫
What does it do on my main page????
Close your mind and be aware of everything that surrounds you with your eyes wide shut. Is this correct?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Here's a question for everyone. Thoughts are mental processes that occur in our brain. How is it then that awareness is not exactly the same thing? I really love Eckhardt and I agree with him on most things. I have learned and grown a lot by listening to him. However, I just cannot agree that awareness can be any different than just another thought process, albeit a thought process that is quite different than just your normal, run-of-the-mill thoughts or emotions. It's clear to me that awareness or consciousness is a different kind of mental process, but it seems to me at the end of the day that's still a mental process. Isn't Eckhart asking us to believe that it is somehow an otherworldly process? I can't see that there is much if any evidence for that. I can see that consciousness emanates through all things, but really, that feeling of emanation is coming from me. Maybe that's valid in and of itself, but rocks and stones and rivers are not emanating consciousness ... unless they are doing it through me. At the end of the day, everything emanates through me, all reality. We can't really escape that, can we? In a sense, we cannot escape the fact that reality, even consciousness, is just some kind of amorphous, unknowable mental process.
They would not tell people how to get to a state where thought is not involuntary. In a world of one thousand cares people need to exert control over their lives and they use thought to control and steer their lives. They cannot imagine doing otherwise. There is a fear of losing control at the base of all this. There is a creative way to overcome this but the folks who stumbled across this by chance would not know this.
There’s a man on a chair suggesting that your dreaming 😂😂
I only have 10 thoughts per day.
Ekchart's voice has so many fluctuations to it.
So a man thinks in his heart so is he... proverbs
“Pay attention to...attention!”
Does the book by Aldous Huxley, Island point to stillness? I have the book and would like to read a story that shows what presence actually looks like? I have a easy time visualizing. Namaste'
Namaste .... 💚 From Syria
